Article Abstract
Histone proteins are the structural components of nucleosomes, which form chromatin. Histone proteins are typically modified with many posttranslational modifications (PTMs), which affect chromatin accessibility, and by extension, modulate gene transcription, and other DNA-related processes. Mass spectrometry has become the reference technology to quantify global levels of hundreds of histone PTMs in single experiments. The advancement of high throughput has paved the way to new possibilities, including experimental design that include large cohort of samples. In this chapter, we describe a protocol for the unbiased analysis of histone PTMs assisted by a robotic liquid handler. The implementation of a simple-to-use script for automated histone derivatization and digestion reduces the number of manual steps needed to prepare histone peptides for mass spectrometry analysis and improves consistency of resulting data.

Tires are complex polymeric materials composed of rubber elastomers (both natural and synthetic), fillers, steel wire, textiles, and a range of antioxidant and curing systems. These constituents are distributed differently among the various tire parts, which are classified based on their function and proximity to the rim. This study presents a rapid and sensitive approach for the characterization of tire components using mild thermal desorption/pyrolysis (TDPy) coupled to direct analysis in real-time mass spectrometry (DART-MS).

The global rise in antibiotic resistance demands the urgent development of new antibacterial agents. This study investigated the antibacterial potential of four synthesized methoxy and thiophene chalcone derivatives (designated 3a, 4a, 3b, and 4b) against clinically relevant bacterial pathogens. These compounds were prepared through Claisen-Schmidt condensation, while their chemical structures were verified through applying Fourier-transform infrared, mass spectrometry, H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and C NMR.

In charge detection mass spectrometry (CD-MS) ions are trapped in an electrostatic linear ion trap (ELIT) where they oscillate back and forth through a conducting cylinder. The oscillating ions induce a periodic charge separation that is detected by a charge sensitive amplifier (CSA) connected to the cylinder. The resulting time domain signal is analyzed using short-time Fourier transforms to give the mass-to-charge ratio and charge for each ion, which are then multiplied to give the mass.

The persistent threat posed by phytopathogenic fungi to agricultural systems underscores the critical need for novel fungicides. Here, we synthesized and characterized a series of novel acridospiroisoxazole derivatives (H1-H36) using H/C NMR and mass spectrometry. The absolute configuration of compound H23 was confirmed using single-crystal x-ray diffraction analysis.
